[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 6864018, member: 86168"] farmers have been taught to produce more, using modern methods, ferts, sprays, new varieties etc. It is only now, farmers are finding things aren't working quite so well, and we are all looking for reasons, and a 'cure'. I'm no different, but I am beginning to think, there isn't a magic cure, as farmers, we have caused this to occur, on many soil types, things are still alright, it is the lighter soils that are giving problems. Basically we have wanked some soils out. The cure is easy, look after the soils, and return to a well structured valuable asset, the how, is the hard bit, it's hard to look at fields, which have produced the goods for decades, going the other way, when next door field is still going well, and think it's me, that has done this. As kiwi pete, rightly say's, weather isn't like it used to be, and we have to adapt to that, look at this winter, how much winter corn got sown. The thinner soils are warning us, lets heed the warning, and try to think of soil structure more, [/QUOTE]
